Did you know?
In 1925, in the year that Oreste Lagnese was born, in July, the Scopes Trial - often called the Scopes Monkey Trial - took place, prosecuting a substitute teacher for teaching evolution in school. Tennessee had enacted a law that said it was "unlawful to teach human evolution in any state-funded school". William Jennings Bryan headed the prosecution and Clarence Darrow headed the defense. The teacher was found guilty and fined $100. An appeal to the Supreme Court of Tennessee upheld the law but overturned the guilty verdict.
Did you know?
In 1938, this person was merely 13 years old when on June 25th (a Saturday) the Fair Labor Standards Act was signed into law by President Roosevelt (along with 120 other bills). The Act banned oppressive child labor, set the minimum hourly wage at 25 cents, and established the maximum workweek at 44 hours. It faced a lot of opposition and in fighting for it, Roosevelt said "Do not let any calamity-howling executive with an income of $1,000 a day, ...tell you...that a wage of $11 a week is going to have a disastrous effect on all American industry."

The Real Story Of The USS Indianapolis
On July 30, 1945, after delivering the first working nuclear bomb (called "Little Boy" which was later dropped on Hiroshima) to the U.S. Navy base at Tinian in the Mariana Islands, the USS Indianapolis was torpedoed by the Japanese. She sank in 12 minutes. While she had a crew of 1,196, only 317 survived the entire ordeal with 300 dying in the sinking. This was the largest loss of life in a single event in the history of the U.S. Navy. The sinking of the ship was horrifying, but the survival story afterwards was worse... This is the story of four of those survivors, told in their own words.
